Formative Questions Face-to-Face Modality
Chunk 1 OUTLINING
Outlining is a tool we use in the writing process to help organize our ideas, visualize our paper’s potential structure, and to further flesh out and develop
points. It allows the writer to understand how he or she will connect information to support thesis statement and the claims of the paper.
SYSTEMS OF OUTLINING
1. Alphanumeric Outline
Alphanumeric Outlines use numbers, letters, and periods to organize information. The first letter of the word, group of words, or sentence that
follows each symbol is capitalized. Main ideas are listed as Roman numerals on the left margin and are followed by periods.
Example: I.
A.
1.
2.
B.

2. Decimal outline
A decimal outline is a type of pre-writing outline in which a writer's main ideas and sub-points are delineated by Roman numerals (i.e. I, II, III, IV),
Arabic numerals (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4), and letters.

Chunk 2 TYPES OF OUTLINING
What are the types of outlining?
What are the steps and tips in outlining? 1. TOPIC OUTLINE
A topic outline allows writers to organize the topics of a paper quickly without going into details. It may use noun phrases, infinitive phrases, or
gerund phrases instead of sentences.
2. SENTENCE OUTLINE
A sentence outline lists full sentences. A full sentence has a subject, a verb, and a predicate. Each sentence in a sentence outline is the first
sentence of a paragraph as it will appear in the paper, and it shows exactly what you will say.
STEPS IN MAKING AN OUTLINE?
Identify your topic or thesis statement.
Decide what points you would like to discuss during your paper.
Put your points in logical, numerical order so that each point connects back to your main point.
Write possible transitions between paragraphs
